Positive - it's a form of broadband required by SA Inet users
Negative - it's offered by Telkom and we have no consumer choice in the matter

Positive = It's an improvement on how things were. 24/7 connection and no worries on taking your time on-line because you are always connected. Browsing is usually fast after hours.

Negative = It's a 3rd world offer. (high price, 3 gig cap, port prioritizion even if you are not capped, even local bandwidth is measured against the cap, speed during the day is really slow or slower than a 56k modem)

Positive:
when it's good, it's good. The last two weeks for me have been stable and with good download speeds most of the time
And the last day before the cap is great. I've chosen today to get capped but I will get all I can with my last 24h connection period.

Negative:
Unfortunately, there are too many restrictions on the service.
